• evaporation

• precipitation

Multiple Choice

Which is the opposite of condensation?

• runoff

• evaporation

• precipitation

• transpiration

Multiple Choice

Which of these is an example of precipitation?

• snow

• air

• clouds

• vapor

Multiple Choice

Attractions between the negative Oxygen atom of one water molecule and the positive Hydrogen atom of another water molecule are called

• Covalent bonds

• Ionic bonds

• Polar bonds

• Hydrogen bonds

Multiple Choice

Which end of the water molecule has a slightly positive charge?

• the oxygen end

• the hydrogen end

• both ends are slightly positive

• neither end is positive

Multiple Choice

Water is a universal solvent because it...

• can be found over 70% of the Earths surface

• freezes when it gets to 0 degrees

• it expands so it floats when its frozen

• its charged particles dissolve most substances.

Multiple Choice

When water molecules stick easily to other water molecules, this is called what?

• cohesion

• adhesion

• solution

• polar molecule

Multiple Choice

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

• Water is pushed by solutes

• Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain

• Water is pulled by gravity

• Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves

Multiple Choice

Large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, do not quickly fluctuate in temperature. What is the reason for this phenomenon?

• Water is an acid.

• Water is a versatile solvent.

• Water has a high heat capacity.

•  Water acts as a buffer.

Multiple Choice

Water takes alot of energy with it when it vaporizes because it takes a large amount of energy to change water from liquid to gas. This is why animals can perspire or pant to cool down. What is the term for how our sweat cools us down?

• surface tension

• high heat capacity

• evaporative cooling

• freezing

Multiple Choice

 Many fish and aquatic plants can survive a cold winter because the layer of ice that forms at the top of the lake insulates the water below and prevents the lake from freezing solid. What unique property of water contributes to this effect? 

• Water absorbs heat when it evaporates and forms a gas 

•  Water expands and becomes less dense when it freezes.

• Water molecules completely separate into ions in solutions.

•  Water forms hydrogen bonds with ions and other polar substances.
